FRANKENSTEINS MONSTER
It's all the fault of Bryan Clarke !
At the 2025 Bognor Puppet Festival, he used a Frankenstein Monster in his show instead of a Ghost ...
I think David Wilde immediately bought the puppet from Bryan, and several other performers put in orders with Bryan for their own Monsters.
Something of a craze had developed. Always keen to jump on the bandwagon, Iv'e decided to make myself one too.
But not on my own : Fellow Cluster Chris Drewitt and his own lovely 'Bride', Lianne, are visiting me soon, and we have decided to sculpt a head each out of pulp in tandem.
A few sculpting reference pics from the internet for inspiration.
I started necks for both our puppets before Chris's visit, as I knew we would be short on time together for the main sculpting.
Underbodies are prepared in advance too.
Hopefully the couple of days we will have available, will give us just enough time to make a head each, and join it onto a body.
D-rings fixed on for securely hanging up the puppets up in the booth.
Matching trousers made in thin brown corduroy.
The necks used the last of my pinkish paper Pulp.
So it's time to whizz up a big batch but this time in suitably greenish grey.
Extending the necks, to make room for the 'electrode bolts' .
Also to be ready to take the sculpting of the heads when Chris visits.

LOTS MORE PICTURES AND INFO WILL BE ADDED TO THIS PAGE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE
CHECK BACK AGAIN SOON Cheers Richard.
